Chapter 1649: Expected or Available (43)
Gu Wan walked into the Huo family's guest room and saw Xixi lying on the bed and she burst into tears instantly. She couldn't help but lower her head and kissed Xixi's forehead again and again.
Jing Li stood beside her and quietly looked at her reaction. After a long time, she finally asked, "So, why would Zhao Xi ask someone to catch Xixi?"
Gu Wan wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, paused for a moment, and finally said, "I promised you to protect you and Xixi, but I didn't do it well. I made you and Xixi both wronged... I don't want to continue like this. Such a thing can happen for the first time, but not for the second time... So I asked him to separate..."
When Jing Li heard this, he couldn't help but stare slightly.
"He was very angry and drank too much, so he asked someone to take Xixi away and wanted to force me to submit..."
Jing Li couldn't help but sit on the edge of the bed and asked again: "Why? Why do you two want to get married? You obviously have no feelings for him, and he treats you badly... What does he want to get from you?"
Gu Wan turned to look at her, and after a moment, he finally spoke softly: "What he wants is a stable marriage, a family that will reassure and satisfy his grandparents..."
Jing Li looked at her quietly, "Are you the one who reassures and satisfies his grandparents?"
Gu Wan nodded slowly, closed his eyes slightly, took a deep breath, and said, "I met his grandparents first, and later he met him. He came to pursue me to please his grandparents... I know what he wants, and he also knows what I want, so we reached an agreement. But now, he tear down the agreement first, so I don't plan to continue."
Jing Li originally thought that Zhao Xi was the one who dominated the marriage between Gu Wan and Zhao Xi, but he didn't expect that Gu Wan also had the initiative. In this way, no wonder Zhao Xi was angry.
"But now, how do you plan to solve it?" Jing Li asked, "This angers Zhao Xi, what if he does something again..."
"He dared not." Gu Wan shook his head gently, "I heard that Mr. Huo personally called the Zhao family today and called his grandfather. Grandpa was furious. Zhao Xi... is probably too busy to take care of himself..."
After hearing this, Jing Li couldn't help but lower his head and looked at his hand.
The feeling of Huo Qiran holding her was still there before.
In an instant, she felt glad, glad to meet Huo Qiran, glad to be every bit between him, and glad to be with him at every moment...
If it weren't for him, she would have been in what situation at this moment...
She was a little lost, and Gu Wan said again: "I will find a way to deal with this matter. I have been selfish for a while. I can't let you and Xixi suffer anymore... You and Xixi wait for me for a while. Once this matter is handled, we can restore a peaceful life..."
...
Gu Wan did not stay at the Huo family for too long. She left the Huo family before she even woke up and went back to the Zhao family.
Jingli didn't know what was waiting for her, but she could only pray for her, hoping that everything would have a proper ending.
In the evening, when Huo Jinxi returned home, Jing Li officially thanked him.
At that time, everyone was sitting on the dinner table for midnight snacks. Huo Jinxi listened to Jing Li's solemn thanks, glanced at his son and said, "Whoever asked me to do things will be the same. As for the incident itself, it was just a simple task."
After hearing this, Huo Qiran obediently delivered a bowl of hot porridge to his father, and smiled and said to Jingli, "I told you that this is my business, you don't have to take it to heart."
Huo Jinxi picked up the bowl in front of him and asked, "Just a bowl of white porridge?"
Mu Qian was fanning the flames next to him, "This father is worth a bowl of white porridge."
Huo Qiran thought for a while and said, "Just treat it as paying back what you owe me."
Huo Jinxi narrowed his eyes, "What do you owe you?"
"When I was a child, before my mother came back," Huo Qiran said, "You owe me."
After hearing this, Huo Jinxi made a gesture to raise his hand and was about to hit him.
Huo Qiran jumped up quickly and pulled Jingli upstairs with a smile.
Huo Jinxi looked at the figures of the two people running upstairs, turned around and looked at Mu Qian, "So, is this girl?"
Mu Qian shrugged and said, "Don't ask me, I can't help but feel like you, I'll ask your own son."
Huo Jinxi also shrugged, "Let him do it, it's not our business anyway."
...
Jing Li was pulled upstairs by Huo Qiran, and couldn't help but look downstairs with a slight panting, saying, "Your father is different from the legend."
When Huo Qiran heard this, he couldn't help laughing and said, "Not it. After all, my dad used to be like the legend."
Jing Li couldn't help but open his eyes slightly, "Why did that change?"
